It depends on the test. See the table below:

LPIC-290 minutes60
LPIC-390 minutes60
Linux Foundation Certified SysAdmin (LFCS)120 minutes

In short, you average less than 1:30 minutes for each question. When doing the simulations, time your time. This is also important and consider the “stress” factor as well, with a margin of 20% of the time.
